    Hi All,

    I've upgraded my vaio z47gd to 64 bit win7. However my nvidia graphic driver messed up. It seems like screen divided to two sections with bad refresh rate. Anyone else having this problem?.

    Also can anyone point me to the right place to download win7 64 bit drivers. I can't see them on the sony site.

    Cheers,
    Dimsy

    Does never bios disable the VT advanced menu?

    Also do you know the drivers required for Z to do a fresh install of W7?

    you can enable VT with no hacking in the new BIOS menu.

    However, advanced menus are no longer active. I suppose you can try to hack the BIOS again to re-enable the advance menus again.

    But by default, the option to turn VT on and off is now in the BIOS menu.

    Yes, the drivers required to do a fresh install of Windows 7 are located where they usually are.***








    ***The answer is the Sony Support website, or by searching the forum and reading all the various threads that have been posted in this forum. duh. The first 3 pages on the Sony board are littered with answers.
